Chapter 9 - SETUP PART 7: Print Head Alignments - BLAZER EXPRESS
63
Version 5.5 Revised December, 2008
Prints that Do Not Line Up (Bi-Directional)
Observing the Alignment printout on the previous page (Figure 3), the calibration is far from where it
needs to be.
In the worksheet (Figure 4) we have entered 1 for all 3 dot
sizes (columns). Notice on Figure 3, that the Cyan and LLK are
slightly closer that the other 4 colors. On the worksheet, we
have entered multiple values of the number 1, ve times for all
the colors and only 3 times for the Cyan and LLK which were
a bit closer to the desired pattern. In this case you would leave
the values at the default of 5 for the last 2 entry routines.
To explain, if in the printout, none of the swatches or lines
came out close to “good”, you would need to enter in a
particular value (in this example 1) multiple times in the LFP
remote panel, in order to shift the alignment into place (saving
after each entry). This is where the process may get a bit tricky.
In gure 3, there aren’t any good options to choose. The
following section will explain what to choose and why and
how many times to select and enter the values. NOTE: The Pk/Mk and Lk show as lines on the pattern.
refer to the Uni-Directional description for these 2 colors.
• First Entries:
The process is completed properly by
estimating how far the alignment is off by
using the test printout and determining which
way the Print Head needs to be aligned. In
other words, your printout may be off to one
side or the other; depending on which side,
you can assume that a particular entry entered,
in the LFP Remote Panel, will shift the
alignment towards the desired side. Doing this
properly will prevent having to complete the
printout 3 or more times.
Enter in the desired values and click the SAVE button. Each time you
click the Save button, all of the values will read 5 again.
• Second Entries:
Entering in the corresponding value once,
however, will not get the complete results
on the printout (see Second Entries
example to the right), leaving you to
enter them again and again etc., until the
alignment nally prints correct.
Enter in the desired values and click the SAVE button.

For this pattern,
you would enter
9 for all values. If
you were to print
the alignment out
again, the patterns
will look similar to
the Second Entries
example.

First Entries
The pattern is closer
to the desired box,
however, it is not close
enough for a good
alignment. Entering 9
for all values again will
bring the pattern closer,
and without having to
reprint the pattern.
